About Us

Who We Are

We believe that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus provides us with the clearest picture of God that humans can receive (see John 1:1, 14).

We believe that the Bible is God's revelation of Himself to people. The entirety of the Bible (the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation) is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God (see 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

We believe that Jesus is the only way for people to have a forever relationship with God. Jesus declared this Himself, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
